Blood pressure monitors
Discussion
I usually take 3 in quick succession and go with the average. Usual rules, relax and sit down for 10 minutes, no caffeine, alcohol etc for a more 'natural' reading.
Then if you were especially bored, repeat the process on the other arm as wild differences between left and right can indicate a circulatory problem.

What sort of variation do you typically see across those readings ?
Similar to you. I have a very old (maybe 15 years old) wrist cuff. Whilst I know it's not going to be super accurate it's a useful estimate. It's at least beneficial to monitor any changes from one day to the next.This is worth a read. Made me more relaxed about variations in readings.....
